CONTINUED AT LAST.
The observation-disclosures Case zoe
Over For the Term.

Over For the 1erms
The Groesbeck- Meears case, which has
already occupied three days in the Third
District Court, was at last disposed of to-
day by Judge Boreman's granting the
defense a continuance until the next
term of court.
Rumors were afoat on the street this
morning to the effect that Meears would
introduce evidence to-day with the in
tention of impeaching the characters OF
Messrs. Dickson and Varian. This had
the effect of drawing in big crowd
and the reinforced reporters of the
church organs were there ready for a
feast. What would have happened had
the continuance been denied cannot be
positively stated, but as it was there was
nothing particularly exciting in the case.
When the defense asked for the con-
tinuance, Mr.. Dickson asked them TO
give their grounds. In reply to this Mr..
Marshall read number OF aftidavits
which went to show that they
were not prepared for trial, and
that the case had been sprung
upon them without warning. He fol-
lowed this up with the argument that the
equity case now pending between these
two litigants should be settled before the
law case now under consideration can be
tried.
Mr.. Dickson stated that under the cir
cumstances he would not oppose a con-
| tinuance.
After some further discussion on minor
points, the case was submitted and Judge
Foreman decided to grant the continu'
ance for the term,

demanded TO Jail in Default of
$500 Bonds.
The trial of P. D. Sprague, charged
with stealing a watch from the late w.
A. Douglass, was up for hearing in the
Police Court late yesterday afternoon.
The prosecution opened its case with
the introduction of the testimony of ].
w. Taylor, the undertaken, who brought
death. He testified that he asked
Sprague whether or not there was any
thing on Douglass person which had not
been turned over, and received a mega
tive answer. There was other evidence
introduced to show that the defendant
had denied having the watch in his pos
session.
Sprague, the defendant, testified that
the deceased gave him the watch early
in the evening and asked him to take
care of it for him. When Taylor asked
him that question he did not think of the
watch, and did not notice it until it fell
ont out of his pocket as he
was undressing to get into bed.
The next day he claims that
he went to the Coroner's Office three
times, but could not find him. Herbert
Slade, the Maori, testified that he did not
see the watch until the time of the in
quest, while another witness swore that
he had seen Sprague wearing the watch
at s o'clock on the evening of Douglass,
death.
The case was then submitted and the
court took the matter under advisement
until 10 o'clock this morning, when it
was decided to hold Sprague in the sum
of $500 to await the action OF the Grand
Jury.
Being unable to give bail the defendant
was remanded to the custody OF the city
marshal.

THE BINGHAM SHOOTING.
Joe Lee Shot and Killed by Antoine
Parry Last Evening.

Joe Lee Shot and Killed by Antoine
Parry Last Evening.
Word comes from Bingham to the
effect that Joe Lee, we'll respected man
of that camp, was shot at about 5 &c
o'clock last evening by Antoine Parry, a
man quite well known there. The only
particulars that can be learned are that
the two had some trouble, and that Parry
secured rife and shot Lee, the latter
dying half an hour later.
Further particulars will be given later.
LATER.-Late this afternoon DEMO
Graf reporter met and talked with some
Binghamites. They give the following
account of the shooting. The quarrel
which led to it was over an English
woman, who used to live down by the
Old Lead mine, and is now stopping in
Main Bingham. After her husband left
her, some years ago, she became a
questionable character, and of late
she has been rather sweet on
both Joe Lee and Antoine Parry.
AS a natural result of this state of
affairs the two men have not been the
best of friends, and the jealousy which
each felt for the other was the cause of
the fatal quarrel. Night before Jast the
men met and had some very hot words,
but parted without anything serious hav-
ing occurred. Last night they met again,
and after another lively war of words,
Parry procured his rife and brought his
rival to the ground.
Parry was arrested by the Bingham
authorities and held until Sheriff Burt
arrived to-day. Burt will return to the
city on the 4 o'clock train, bringing the
prisoner with him.

The ssNevada Queenr Hosting
Works at TuscarOra, New,
Blown Into Atoms.

A correspondent of THE DEMOCRAT
writing from Tuscarora, Nevada, gives
the following account of shocking giant
powder explosion which occurred on the
9Th inst, at that place: "There was
horrible explosion here at s o'clock this
morning, by which the Nevada Queen
hosting works were destroyed and all
the employees about the building
bruised and mangled in a most frightful
manner. Mr. j. Russell, the foreman.
was without doubt, fatally injured. A
large amount of giant powder had been
placed near the boiler preparatory to
putting off a heavy blast in the
mine. This by some means became
ignited and exploded, scattering the
building and boiler in fragments for
hundreds of feet over the surrounding
hills. Men from the North Belle Isle
and Navajo and from town fastened to
the scene of the accident and all that
willing hands and kindly hearts
could do was done for ,the unfortunate
sufferers, who were tenderly conveyed
to their respective homes. At this
writing $3.50 q. M are resting as easily
as could be expected and appear to be
boing well, except Mr.. Russell, who re-
mains quite unconscious and for whose
recovery but little hope is entertained.
From the looks of the wreck about the
hosting works it seems miracle that
single man escaped with his life"

How Montana Woman Works
Collecting.
This morning Attorney Duffy was
standing on Main street, opposite the
Inter Mountain office, engaged in con-
versation with a friend. He was ap-
preached by Mrs. Isabel, who asked
permission to speak with him moment.
Mr.. Duffy stepped aside a few steps, and
the woman said to him: "Mr. Duffy, are
you going to give me that money that
you owe me?" Mr.-Dufy replied: ri do
not owe you any money. We hold your
receipt in full at the Office, and if you de-
sire to look at it again you can do so. l
do not owe a dollar" Without further
conversation the woman unbuttoned her
cloak and drew out light bamboo cane
with which she aimed blow at
Mr.. Duffy. He warded it off with his
left hand and, catching the cane
in his right, held it firmly. In less time
than it takes to tell it, large crowd had
assembled, and Constable Engel was on
the spot. arrest this woman and will
swear out complaint against her." said
Mr.. Duffy. Constable Engle at once
removed Mrs. Isabel, and Mr.. Duffy
swore out complaint against her for
assault and battery. The case was set
for trial at l o'clock before Justice Lip
pincott.
Mrs. Isabel some time ago was a cook
in a restaurant down at Rocker. She
said that Mr.. Duffy had collected money
for her and would not deliver it up. She
was threatening to attack him last even
ing, but Sheriff Lloyd warned her that
she would get into trouble if she did so.
Her temper, however, got the better OF
her this morning, with the above de-
scribed result. She was released from
custody on her own recognizance. After
her dismissal she openly announced her
purpose to repeat her attempt as soon as
she met the object of her wrath.
Attorney Duffy says he considers the
woman crank, and has doubts as to
her sanity. He considers the attack a
sort OF an attempt to extort money by
making it disaggreeable for him, and
bringing him before the public in dis
agreeable way. He also says Mrs.
Isabel has been known to do such things
before. He does not intend to submit to
any such proceeding, however, as his
business dealings with her are properly
settled. The case was called in Judge
Lippincott's court at 80, and was in
definitely continued. Mountain

THE BRooM-RAcK ON TOP.

A Little Fight Between a Couple of
Uptown Business Men.
Yesterday Culmer Bros. put up rack
of brooms which shaded the not very ex-
tensive show window of Fred Nelson,
the matchmaker. Nelson resented this
by placing a rough board partition on the
dividing line between Culmer Bros. Is
and his establishment. The side toward
Culmer's he painted dull red. Mr..
Gunner then placed q card on his side
of the partition which read, "This was
not put up by Culmer Bros" Soon after
another card was placed under it by
Nelson which read, "It was a white
man." The Culmers at latest news are
ahead, for this morning their side of the
board was made the back ground to
some fine card advertisements such as
coils and paints for sale inside" "Win-
dow Glass, Ect." Mr. N then acknowl-
edged defeat by taking down the parti-
ton. The broom-rack holds four aces.

This MORNINGS BLAZE.
The Loss Placed AT SO, 2Oo-NO In
SurauCe.

Surance.
Shortly before 10 O'Clock this morning
a fire was discovered in the roof OF the
house No. 824, w. South Street. The
place is rented by George Jones and his
son-in-law, Sheridan Smith, and IS
owned by Mrs. Hawkins.
At the time mentioned above Mrs.
Smith awoke her husband and called his
attention to a peculiar cracking noise.
He replied that it was rats, but IN a
few moments they heard the noise OF
falling timbers and concluded that it was
something worse. Jumping out OF ped
Mr.. Smith rushed to the door OF the
room occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. Jones
and their children. He found
the door locked and had great
trouble in waking the inmates OF
the room. At last, however, the door
was opened and it was found that the
room was already filled with smoke ana
but few minutes more delay would hkely
have resulted in the strangulatlon OF all
the inmates. There was no time TO save
ANYTHING except their own lives, and the
two families therefore hurried out OF the
place without waiting to dress. They
were none too soon, as it was not many
moments afterward that the roof gave
way and went down with crash.
By this time quite a number Of neigh
bors had gathered around, and while
word was sent to the Fire Department. a
bucket brigade was formed to protect the
building adjacent, which ran narrow
escape. The firemen arrived too late to
save any part of the burning house, but
their services in saving the next house
were very opportune.
The house was valued at $1,000, while
the furnishings, which we're mostly new
amounted to about $500. The former
loss falls upon Mrs. Hawkins while the
latter falls upon Mr.. Smith, who was but
recently married and who spent all he
had in furnishing the house.
The two families we're loaned clothes
by the neighbors, but for some reason Oh
other no one offered to take them in and
they were obliged to stay outside the res
of the night, and when seen by reporter
this morning they said they had no ides
where they would go.
There seems to be no very probable
way of accounting for the fire. Some
however, think that a spark from TIT
engine of lumber train which passed
there early in the evening might hav'
| been the cause.
